It's poetry in motion she turned her tender eyes to me as deep as any ocean as sweet as any harmony mm - but she blinded me with science "she blinded me with science!" and failed me in biology When I'm dancing close to her "blinding me with science - science!" I can smell the chemicals "blinding me with science - science!" "Science!" "Science!" mm - but it's poetry in motion and when she turned her eyes to me as deep as any ocean as sweet as any harmony mm - but she blinded me with science and failed me in geometry When she's dancing next to me "blinding me with science - science!" "Science!" I can hear machinery "blinding me with science - science!" "Science!" It's poetry in motion and now she's making love to me the spheres're in commotion the elements in harmony she blinded me with science "she blinded me with science!" and hit me with technology "good heavens Miss Sakamoto - you're beautiful!" I - I don't believe it! there she goes again! she's tidied up, and I can't find anything! all my tubes and wires and careful notes and antiquated notions but! - it's poetry in motion and when she turned her eyes to me as deep as any ocean as sweet as any harmony mm - but she blinded me with science "she blinded me with - with science!" she blinded me with - |

(Tell me about your childhood)
At the tender age of three I was hooked to a machine Just to keep my mouth from spouting junk. Ha! Must have took me for a fool When they chucked me out of school 'Cause the teacher knew I had the funk. But tonight I'm on the edge - Fellas, shut me in the fridge 'Cause I'm burning up! (I'm burning up.) With the vision in my brain And the music in my veins And the dirty rhythm in my blood! They are messing with my heart... And they're messing with my heart And they're messing with my heart Won't stop messing with my... ohh! Ripping me apart! Hyperactive: when I'm small Hyperactive: now I'm grown Hyperactive: and the night is young (And in a minute I'll blow!) Semaphore out on the floor Messages from outer space Deep heat for the feet And the rhythm of your heartbeat 'Cause the music of the street It isn't any rapattack It isn't any rapattack I can reach into your homes Like an itch in your headphones You can't turn it up I'm the shape in your back room I'm the breather on the phone And I'm burning up But there's one thing I must say Before they lock me up again - You'd be safer at the back When I'm having an attack! Hyperactive: when I was small Hyperactive: now I'm tall Hyperactive: as the day is long Hyperactive: in my bones Hyperactive: in your phones Hyperactive: and the night is young Hyperactive : when I was small Hyperactive: now I'm grown Hyperactivfe: 'til I'm dead and gone Stand up : hyperactivate! Get up: hyperactivate! Wise up: hyperactivate! London: hyperactivate! |

Early evening he get these urges
Skin tension under leatherette A back bar somewhere in clubland Cigarillo and the scene is set See the bodies - now things're moving Little twitches people can't explain Young bodies, listen to them talking New languagism in their veins Same face in a new situation The mirrorball holds mesmerised - He looks around, he's the new Clark Gable... Urges, urges - he get these urges Don't wanna talk about - Heartfelt urges - he get these urges He's not supposed to talk about Urges, urges - these restless urges he don't wanna talk about - Urges, urges - can't stop the urges Lock them out. She's here, the heat is rising He move slowly she's a china doll By degrees, he'll loosen her composure - She knows he knows she knows he knows. One word to the man in the pulpit She start twitching and she can't sit still Seven inches of a black star liner ... Try to contain the stuff that's in your body Bit silly when your head's no good When you're ashamed of things about your body You keep drinking like you knew you would In the footlight the ape in motion Spins circles all across the floor - Mouth the words, assume the positions For a second we can fool them all girl this time it's a new sensation It's never been this way before. I look at you and I feel half human ... |

Switch off the mind and let the heart decide
who you were meant to be Flick to remote and let the body glide There is no enemy ! Etch out a future of your own design Well tailored to your needs Then fan the flame and keep the dream alive Of a continent A continent a continent a continent a - There is no enemy ! Switch of the mind and let the heart decide We're a continent A continent a continent a continent a - Shatter the lens and grind it into sand One measured exposure Scatter the seed and furrow in our land The future is roses! Roses! Switch off the mind and let the heart decide There is no enemy! Lift up the hearts of this your only tribe We're a continent A continent a continent a continent a |

I scare myself just thinking about you
I scare myself when I'm without you I scare myself the moment that you're going I scare myself when I let my thoughts run And when they're running I keep thinking of you And when they're running What can I do? I scare myself, and I don't mean lightly I scare myself, it can get frightening I scare myself, to think what I could do I scare myself it's some kind of voodoo And with that voodoo I keep thinking of you And with that voodoo What can I do? But it's so so very different when we're together And I'm so so much calmer; I feel better Cause the stars already crossed our paths forever And the sooner that you realize it the better And then I'll be with you and I won't scare myself And I'll know what to do and I won't scare myself And my thoughts will run and I won't scare myself And I'll think of you and I won't scare myself |

The Earth can be any shape you want it
Any shape at all Dark and cold or bright and warm Long or thin or small But it's home and all I ever had And maybe why for me the Earth is flat Friends have often asked me why I'm sensitive about my height I would look around and say Hmm, I thought I was immune All my life I have waited to be given any word It was screaming to be heard Please remember... The Earth can be any shape you want it Any shape at all Dark and cold or bright and warm Long or thin or small But it's home and all I ever had and maybe why for me the Earth is flat Turn the island to the storm tonight Then when they spill the demon seed Turn and face into the wind All along you still believed Believed you were immune And if love is all you're missing Look into your heart Is anybody home ? Please remember ... The Earth can be any shape you want it Any in the world But don't you point that raygun at me I might just explode There are stones buried in your soul And only a fool would blame the death of rock and roll, uyeah And in time you'll come to understand The flat old Earth is in your gentle hands |

Strange how the scale forms
in tiny patterns on my antenna and the Five O'clock Show, hello hello... Brooklyn is crawling with famous people I turn my vehicle beneath the river, West from South Through the airwaves - people never read the airwaves do we only feed the airwaves or stamp them out of street level? Airwaves - the dampness of the wind the airwaves - the tension of the skin the airwaves I really should have seen through the airwaves Electric fences line our new freeway here in the half-light, the motorhomes leave knee-deep in water under a pylon how slow my heartbeat, how thin the air I'm breathing in Control has enabled the abandoned wires again but the copper cables all rust in the acid rain that flood the subway with elements of our corrosion cabled in to me... Be in my broadcast when this is over give me your shoulder, I need a place to wait for morning. No it was nothing - some car backfiring - pleased don't ask questions I itch all over let me sleep. |

Late one night a happy martian with nothing to do
made the perfect pleasure drug and he called it the Cube a cube so potent in a stroke it turned nightmares to dreams he flew right past the planet Earth and he gave it to me. Then he said... May the Cube be with you and your father may the Cube be with you ever after You might care to spend an evening with Marilyn Monroe share a cell with Jimmy Cagney or Paris with Brando drop some bombs on Maggie Thatcher or Ronnie Reagan you see Cube Power comes by the hour so why not have fun? right here... May the Cube be with you and your father may the Cube be with you ever after Half a million people are such a sight to see lying in the sunshine in a private fantasy but you got to have more you won't stop till you get it all and I would give it to you baby but the law is catching up with me Pending my interrogation and stuck for an excuse I thought up two more variations on pastry abuse I'm so very sorry constable but what can I do when half the Western world is turning on to Dolby's Cube. May the Cube be with you and your father may the Cube be with you ever after. |

I buy her all the right clothes
And pretty jewels to wear My friends say she's a dumb blonde But they don't know she dyes her hair She thinks the fighting in Central America's easily solved But what to wear to Bel-Air premieres Is a problem she could never resolve... She's an airhead Stungun and mace - Kharmann Ghia plates say "Lost in Space" She's an airhead Thousands in trust - cusp Aquarius - get serious She's an airhead Tinted contacts don't change the fact that black is black She's an airhead And while I'm impressed with the length of those legs She's not an intellectual giant.... She'd like to model or maybe act Or start a magazine Before she signs any contracts I think she better learn to read But in her dreams she's the queen of the fashion regime... You ask me do I love you... Does the pope live in the woods? Quod erat demonstrandum, baby. ( ooo you speak French) (CHORUS) Sweet and low and oh-so Little Ms. Dora Jarre Safe sex and fishnets And could you walk me to my car She's losing faith in a world that is out of control So she's gonna nix politics, She's taking up volleyball! volleyball! why? She's an airhead Stungun and mace - Kharmann Ghia plates say "Lost in Space" she's an airhead Thousands in trust - cusp Aquarius - get serious She's an airhead And now the time's come for the end of my song, Don't get me wrong If she's an airhead it has to be said It was men made her that way It was us made her that way It was us made her that way! |

They call her Hot Sauce
she's hot and spicy but twice as nicey although she burn me up they call her Hot Sauce she's hotter than pepper I would have kept her although she burn me up. What if fire didn't burn (burn!) how would the lesson get learned? (learned!) you sit there like a dope until you choke on all the smoke (smoke gets in your eyes) cover me in your sauce baby bury me in all that sauce smother me in your hot sauce, woman till smoke come from your thighs. They call her Hot Sauce she's hot and spicy but twice as nicey although she burn me up they call her Hot Sauce she's hotter than pepper I would have kept her although she burn me up. The brother in the codpiece I seen him on the TV I think he likes his ladies all sweet and sugary now I'm partial to a pudding but that's for second course. the main meal and the hors d'oeuvres must be smothered in hot sauce. They call her Hot Sauce she's hot and spicy but twice as nicey although she burn me up they call her Hot Sauce she's hotter than pepper I would have kept her although she burn me up. What if steam didn't scald (scald!) how would the story be told? (told!) she sat and smoked a fag while I was gagging on the shag (shag gets in your eyes) lemme get lost in your sauce baby cover me in your sauce lemme get lost in your hot sauce woman. There was a fire truck attending the smoke pouring from her nose her state of mind depending on which way the wind blowed chili and tabasco dripping on my shirt I couldn't breathe - I couldn't see - I had to call a smog alert. |

A hungry heart To regulate their breathing One more night the Winter Boys are freezing in their spam tin The Baltic moon Along the northern seaboard And down below The Winter Boys are waiting for the storm Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye Shallow water - channel and tide And I can trace my history Down a generation to my home In one of our submarines One of our submarines The red light flicker, sonar weak Air valves hissing open Half her pressure blown away Flounder in the ocean See the Winter Boys Drinking heavy water from a stone Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye Shallow water - channel and tide Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye Tired illusion drown in the night And I can trace my history Down one generation to my home In one of our submarines One of our submarines One of our submarines One of our submarines is missing tonight Seems she ran aground on manoeuveres One of our submarines |

Miller time at the bar where all the English meet
She used to drink in the hills Only now she drinks in the valleys Where every road has a name like Beachwood Avenue or so it seems A Croydon girl could really hope to find a home But with a thousand miles of real estate to choose from You begin to see the value of your freedom... The moon is bright in the haze above old Hollywood And deer look down from the hills And it's three o'clock in the morning Pill in hand you can hear his golden surfer voice Crying out, mummy won't come out of the bathroom And you'd hoped he'd say he's sorry if he hit you but he's buried in the screenplay of his feature Screen kiss, one screen kiss Straight from a film I forget who was in Screen kiss, one screen kiss Blue filter lens, a pool of vaseline But all the rushes look the same Only there's a movie I wouldn't pay to see again If it's the one with him in You and I could be a mile above the earth tremors Hold to me and we'll climb You could sneak out while he's sleeping Suicide in the hills above old Hollywood Is never gonna change the world Change the world overnight Any more than the invention of the six-gun - child Any more than the discovery of Radium, Or California tipping in the ocean Screen kiss, one screen kiss ... |

My brain is like a sieve
all the bad things you did to me, sometimes it's easier to forget you did to me. my brain is like sieve but it knows when it's being messed with if you wanted you could come in, so come in. When you said you loved me when you told me you cared that you would be a part of me, that you would always be there did you really mean to hurt me? no, I think you only meant to tease. But it's hard to remember, I lost my memory. See,my brain is like a sieve sometimes it's easier to forget all the bad things you did to me, you did to me. my brain is like sievebut it knows when it's being messed with if you wanted you could come in, so come in.You ought to be ashamed of your behaviour when you're treating me this way as if I had deserved to be a place to vent your ire some day I'm gonna douse that bonfire we make a crucial team for a dying worldand style is a word I never even heard in your vocabulary, victim of a murder mystery ...murder! My brain is like a sieve all the bad things you did to me, sometimes it's easier to forget you did to me. my brain is like sieve but it's a place where we both could live if you wanted you could come in, so come in. |
